The bonds contained in the reference index, the FTSE Emerging Markets Government and Government-Related Select Bond Index, are exclusively denominated in US dollars, not in the local currencies. The bonds may be issued by governments, regional governments or government-related entities. To be included in the index, the bonds must meet specific criteria, including minimum credit ratings of the issuers.
